Gear vendors does have a Dodge Class A specific unit complete with new Parking brake assembly. It is almost 3500 dollars though.

Re: Overdrive options ...we need them
I did not look into it but I don't think that includes install or shortening of driveshaft.

Re: Overdrive options ...we need them
Just verified by email. Installation not included. Driveshaft needs to be shortened about 14" and a new supplied yoke put on.
